OUR ADOPTION PROCESS
We have adoptable dogs, puppies, cats and kittens waiting to meet you at our Highland and Edwardsville shelters! No appointment necessary, no holds. All pets are first come, first served.
Puppies, when we have them, will only be located at our Edwardsville location.
When you arrive, you will be paired with a team member to look at adoptable pets once staff is available to assist you. If you are interested in meeting a pet in a Foster Home (indicated with orange paw prints), please submit an adoption application to schedule.
